Cross Stitch on crochet | Cross Stitch Vest | 3 hour workshop

You need to be able to work single crochet stitches to prepare the homework for this workshop.

Step into the wonderful world of cross stitch on crochet! You can either make a sample for a coaster/ square or bag, or, prepare your gauge/ design swatch for the Cross Stitch Vest (Ravelry link) by Sara Dudek. 

In this workshop you will work a sample motif of your choice! Rebecca used flowers from Birthday Botanicals. There is a link for the Rose used in the cross stitch vest pattern. DMC have free cross stitch patterns on the website here, or, you can check out your local library! 

Some inspiration here:

Shirley Bird Cross stitch Purse by Louise Kendall - I love this little purse and I might just have to whip one up!

Summer Roses Cross Stitch top by Yellow Blue Design, this cross stitch is on a filet/ single crochet base, I might be making a swatch to see how it turns out.

Mushroom cross stitch block by Red Heart, a cute design you can use to apply to your work!

You will learn how to count and centre your pattern, best practices for stitching, using the sewing vs stabbing method, extending the length of yarn you can use at a time and securing your ends.

For those of you making the Cross stitch Vest we will check your gauge (the pattern uses worsted so we will recalculate your gauge to ensure you crochet the right size for you!)

• Yarn: We recommend Anchor Bay, either solid colours or hand paints.
• Hook: We recommend a 4mm hook for your sample, this depends on your personal tension.
